Returning wealthy individuals develop their hometowns and become rich in the 1980s

"mother!"

Before anyone even arrived at the ancestral home's main gate, a loud woman's voice rang out from outside. Chen Qiuxiu, wearing a worn-out floral top covered in creases, blue-gray trousers, and open-toed heeled sandals, strode in quickly.

Behind Chen Qiuxiu were several people, one of whom was Cai Liansheng, the uncle Chen Dong and his group had met at the village entrance. The other men were probably Cai Liansheng's sons, whom Chen Dong did not recognize, so he nodded to them.

As soon as Cai Liansheng entered, he called out "Mother" to Grandma Wei Shufen, while the men behind him called her "Grandma." Grandma Wei Shufen smiled and nodded, saying, "I was planning to send someone over to call you, but you came over by yourself."

"My nephew is back. As his aunt, I had to come and see him right away. Oh my, Mom, you know what? He really looks just like my second uncle in the photo. Look at his eyebrows and eyes," Chen Qiuxiu said as she walked up to her mother and unceremoniously pulled up a small bamboo stool and sat down.

"Is this my nephew's wife? She's so beautiful, her skin looks like it could be squeezed for water. Doesn't she have a little grandson? Come here and let your aunt take a look," Chen Qiuxiu said casually, pulling Zhang Yi's hand and praising Zhang Yi's good looks and how lucky her nephew was.

Little Chen Hui was handing out cookies to the older children when he heard his father call him. He quickly turned around and shouted, "I'm busy, wait a minute!"

"Jimmy, come here quickly, come here and let your aunt take a look," Zhang Yi hurriedly called Xiao Chenhui over.

"Here it comes," Little Chen Hui handed the small tin box to Chen Rongxiong, said, "Brother, you divide it for me," and then ran over, leaning against Grandma Wei Shufen's leg and calling out, "Grandma."

Grandma Wei Shufen patted little Chen Hui's head with a smile, "This is your aunt, your uncle, and your cousins, quickly greet them."

Wow, so many!

Chen Qiuxiu noticed that little Chen Hui possessed a cleverness that was unusual for a country child, and he wasn't shy at all around the adults. So, she decided to tease him a little and asked, "How old are you this year?"

"He's five years old," said the old lady, who was playing with his older brothers and sisters and was covered in sweat. She gently wiped his sweat with a handkerchief.

"How did you get here from America?"

"I came here on my dad's plane," said Xiao Chenhui, taking a chocolate candy out of his pocket, unwrapping it, and eating it by himself.

Chen Qiuxiu thought she had misheard. "Your dad has his own plane?"

"Yeah, our car was flown in by plane," Xiao Chenhui replied, chewing on candy and shaking his head. "My daddy's plane is huge! You can play video games and watch movies on it!"

Chen Xiangui, Chen Zaiguang, and the others were astonished. What kind of life was Dongzi living in America? Was this airplane like a car, something an individual could buy?

Chen Dong hurriedly explained, "I didn't buy it. My grandfather bought the plane back then for the convenience of his business trips."

Chen Dong's explanation confirmed that he really did own an airplane, which shocked everyone even more. They had thought it was just a child talking nonsense, but it turns out Dongzi, you really do have one!

The women busy in the kitchen, though their hands were occupied, were also listening intently to the conversation in the hall. Upon hearing Chen Dong's words, the eldest daughter-in-law of the second son's family leaned over to her mother-in-law, Zheng Ling, and asked, "Mom, does Uncle Dong really own an airplane?! How much would that cost?"

"Wash your vegetables, why ask so many questions?" Zheng Ling said irritably, but her feet involuntarily walked to the kitchen door, turning to listen to the conversation of the people in the living room.

When Wei Shufen heard Chen Dong say that the airplane was bought by her second uncle Chen Shengyu before his death, she hurriedly said, "How much money must that have cost? It's too extravagant."

"Grandma, Second Uncle must be doing big business abroad. He travels all year round. Buying an airplane can save a lot of travel time. Besides, foreigners also value personal appearance. Having your own airplane makes it easier to negotiate business deals," Chen Zaisheng, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.

Chen Dong looked at Chen Zaisheng, who was speaking. This was the most educated person in his uncle's family and the only college student in the whole village. He didn't expect him to have such knowledge.

Seeing Chen Dong looking at him, Chen Zaisheng smiled and spoke in fluent English with an old-fashioned tone, "Don't look down on me just because I'm from China. I used to read all the newspapers and magazines from America and Hong Kong. I have that much knowledge and experience."

"How are you feeling right now?" Chen Dong asked Chen Zaisheng directly in English.

"I have tuberculosis. Medical conditions in China are very poor, and my health has been deteriorating over the years," Chen Zaisheng said.

"I'll take you to America, New York. I know many doctors there, and I can get you priority access to the best treatment. I can't guarantee a complete cure, but at least I can prevent your condition from worsening!"

Chen Zaisheng gave a bitter laugh after hearing this. "I've already lost hope, and besides, it's not even certain whether I'll be able to get out!"

"I'll inquire with the American Embassy in Hong Kong. Don't worry about the visa; I'll handle it!"

Zhang Yi chimed in, "You should have confidence in yourself. You haven't committed any crime, so there shouldn't be any problem with your visa!"

The three of them chatted in English in front of everyone. Uncle Chen Xiangui looked at his second son, who was once his greatest pride, and recalled the days when his second son had just graduated from university and was full of vigor. Not only in the village, but also in the town, everyone who met Chen Xiangui would praise his family for producing a college graduate!

Zheng Ling and Yang Xifeng couldn't understand it and thought that their eldest uncle's second son was having a private conversation with his nephew Chen Dong about something he didn't want their second and third wives to hear. They were so anxious that they wished they could understand foreign languages ​​right now.

"You have a large business empire in America," Chen Zaisheng inquired, "Can you really let me go there directly for treatment?"

"The inheritance my grandfather, your second great-uncle, left me is beyond your imagination," Chen Dong replied with a mysterious smile.

"A millionaire?"

Chen Dong smiled without saying a word, while Chen Zaisheng immediately contradicted himself, "To be able to afford an airplane, with tens of millions in assets?"

"You could even raise it a bit more!"

"Over 100 million?!"

Four billion is over a hundred million, so Chen Dong didn't let him guess any further and nodded directly, saying, "So you should know that I have the ability to fly you back to New York and arrange for you to receive priority medical treatment!"

"If you have a net worth of over 100 million, I'll believe at least 80% of what you say," Chen Zaisheng said, no longer forcing a bitter smile, a hopeful smile finally appearing on his face.

Seeing Chen Zaisheng's smile grow even brighter, Grandma Wei Shufen asked, puzzled, "What are you talking about?"

"Aunt, we were talking about taking my second brother with us to America for medical treatment when we go back. I've met quite a few doctors there!"

"real!"
